For Sale: Bespoke Fixed Fixed Track and Road Wheels New Improved offer to the forum

I'll rephrase. Will you be doing any non carbon, clincher matt black rims in the near future? Thanks

A little tip is to grab some matte black lacquer from halffords and just give the rims a couple of thin coats of it.

Only a fiver or so and it won't take a whole can.

Whats the biggest size tyre you can you put on these? 25 possible?

25 defo fine. Not that either of my track frames can take 25mm tyres though.

When ordering on your website, do I need to specify that I want Fixed/Free for the Miche Rear hub? Or do they all come like that?

cheers stonehedge!

I was asking this earlier, so hopefully I can help. The silver Miche hubs only come fixed/free.

For black, I believe you can email varno to confirm what you want, but they did have some stock of fixed/fixed.

Varno: I've just put tyres on my rims, and finally spun them around on my bike. The wheels are slightly out of true... not to the point where I can't use them, but I noticed it whilst I was getting my chain tension right: at one point, the tyre keeps brushing against the frame.

Can you please advise what can be done about this?

Mmmmmm....Thats weird. are you sure its the rim and not the tyre thats not sitting straight?

Will the laquer take to silver rims ya think?

Yup it should, just realised I said "matte black lacquer" when I meant "matte lacquer"

However if you wish to paint silver rims just grab some matte black spray paint, it should take to them but rub the rim down with degreaser and allow it to dry first.

I got my first single speed this week (Plug). Getting a front brake put on it tomorrow then I might look at upgrading the wheels. Spoke to LBS today who recommended something like the Aerorage/Aerotrack, but would these work out better?

I'd rather a pair of these, great wheels and support an independent business.

You'll actually want to look at 'track wheels' as the road ones will be 130mm spaced.

That's my gut feeling.

Cool, thanks - opens up a lot of questions with regards to having more options though! Presumably the sealed Miche hubs will be required for outdoor? The Aerorage were 25mm - will the 30mm be OK here?

Mmmmmm....Thats weird. are you sure its the rim and not the tyre thats not sitting straight?

Definitely, when I put the brake pads close together, it touches the brake pad, only at one place in the revolution. Buckles left.

The tyre is on straight, and it brushes the frame in the same place the brakes brush the rim.

Can you please advise what can be done to resolve this?

Well it sounds like they are out of true. Thats the first in over 500 pairs built. Always a first. Maybe had a knock on transit. Only solution is to true up. Feel free to return them and I'll have a look. Other way is take to your local shop. Probably only a 5 minute job.

I'll send a PM to you to progress. Thanks.

quite a surprise to be sent a second set for free though! it was a great touch and very much appreciated but i felt i couldn't accept this gift from you so the courier is sending them back to you. thanks again and if you feel like sending me some carbon wheels for free next time i might not be able to refuse!

Have some rep, young man. Clearly you've met the Forum Spirit.

Are you doing any of the bespoke wheels with novatech hubs at all?

Some dick kicked my back wheel in last night so I need a replacement!

Quick question, what bearings do I need for the quando hubs?

Wheels ordered, can't wait for them to arrive!

Sorry to butt in with another quick question, can I use folding tyres on the pegasus rims?

Yes you can mate no problem....

Wow...super busy! On top of all orders now chaps..Jim.

Hi chaps....keep em coming, im on top of all this weeks requests and orders...

Jim.
